1898 SARTORI DI VERONA WINE TASTING | PORTOFINO RISTORANTE ITALIANO @ LUCKY GARDEN, BANGSAR
Ciao!
After a brief respite
from whisky tasting and wine pairing due to several trips of late
(which I shall share soon), we were delighted to be back again to the sensuouswine and dine scene, this time around at the authentic Italian ristorante
of Portofino, located at Lucky Garden, Bangsar for 1898 Sartori di
Verona Wine Tasting Dinner.
The premise holds a huge,
captivating signage that one would find it hardly miss whenever you are in the
vicinity of the ever thriving neighbourhood.
Once entered, patrons
would be greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance of dimmed lightings and the
options whether to have a few tipples at the first floor or a more spacious
dinning at the upper floor.
In conjunction with the
night of Sartori di Verona wine appreciation, our gastronomic session was graced
by Mr. Alberto Orengia, the Asia Area Manager of Sartori di Verona,
who came all the way from Italy, to enlighten and share with us the aesthetic,
vintage values from ancient Valpolicella winery that is elevated by innovation
and driven by earnest dedication.

Piacere!
